Meet the Acupuncturist
Jewel Permut, Lic. Ac., Dipl. OM
Born into to a family of healers, Julie “Jewel” Permut discovered she too had the gift, at a young age. Inspired by her cousin, a 10th degree black belt in Aikido, Jewel trained in martial arts to develop discipline, strength and confidence. Through her practice, she learned how to harness the power of “ki,” or life force. At 14, Jewel earned her brown belt in Judo, and medaled at several national and international competitions, including the Junior Olympics. Then a significant spinal injury sustained during training, forced her to pivot her focus from sport to self-healing.
It was through her own healing journey that Jewel discovered her healing gifts, and the passion to share them with others. In 2001 she graduated from the University of Vermont with a self-designed major, exploring the intimate connection between indigenous medicine, ecology, and consciousness. After graduation she traveled around the world; to Asia, Europe, and Central America, to further her studies in traditional medicine. Upon her return, Jewel completed a certificate in Therapeutic Massage from the Northeastern Institute of Whole Health. In 2010 she graduated from the New England School of Acupuncture in Boston, with a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She is currently pursuing her Doctorate degree in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine from Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts.
Jewel is a Board-Certified Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist, Medical Qigong Practitioner, Yoga Teacher/Oneness Trainer, and Maya Abdominal Therapist. Jewel is passionately and wholeheartedly dedicated to the healing and awakening of humanity, with the vision of a more conscious, peaceful, and loving world. She feels honored to have been initiated into several ancient healing traditions from around the world.

She is known for her precise diagnostic skills, clear intuition, and compassionate heart.
